Is the image stored as is into the database, or is it scaled down to a smaller size before it is stored?

You cannot improve any "resolution". Resolution is the property of a device, such as monitor, printer. Resolution is measured in dots per inch, dots per mm, lines per mm, etc. This is a usual incorrect use of terminology.

You are facing a different problem. It's just the image quality of a bitmap you show on screen is poor, or you make it worse by re-sampling it. For best possible results, you should show the image of exact same size as the size of a bitmap in pixels.

Now, if the source image is not too small and it has reasonable quality, you can successfully re-sample it down (down-scale) to any size, except extremely small sizes; and it will give you reasonably good look. But you cannot considerably enlarge the image. If you do it, you always get poor image quality. The reasons are quite obvious: you simply have no information on the pixels added to the smaller image, so they are obtained via interpolation, which never can be too good.
